Jun 22, 2008 2004 vintage. Brown color with a fully developed, but then quickly diminishing white foam. Fairly powerful nose with hints of fresh pastries, apples, banana, vanilla, along with hints of blackberry and mocha. Flavor is loaded with complexity. A thick coating of caramel and toffee coats the palate, along with hints of fruit pie, vanilla and clove. Coating mouth feel. Wow, an intense, badass brew.

Jun 9, 2008 This comes out of the bottle a deep, semi-transparent brown with a thick beige head. Aroma is strong and malty with a hint of molasses and a touch of hops. Flavor is rich and smoky, mainly malty but with a little hop taste. Texture is fairly smooth and with a nice ragged alcohol bite.

Jun 9, 2008 Dark brown, unclear with frightening sediment. Powerful aroma, alchohol, fruitiness and raisins. Full bodied. Very sweet on the palate, raisins are the most dominent flavour, spice and berries, some banana. Strong and pleasant trace of warming alcohol on the finish, which grew consideribly as the beer approached room temp. A complex and interesting beer, although its individual componants are all great it doesn’t seem to marry perfectly for me. Still very nice though

Jun 9, 2008 Thanks to Nick for this bottle. Pour was dark with an off tan head. Aroma was strong of fruit, floral characters, yeast, and alcohol. Flavor was very strong of fruit, some citrus, wheat, and a big warming alcohol effect. Alcohol was very noticeable but was smooth and warming. Good brew. Would drink again.

Jun 8, 2008 Cloudy brown colored pour with thin off white head. Roasted malts, slight fruity aroma. Sweet and a little acidic, slight bitter finish. Not too bad.

Jun 8, 2008 50cl bottle from Knightly Spirits (Orlando) courtesy of markwise. Pours a cloudy dark brown with very little head or lacing. Aroma: brown sugar, sweet caramel, maple syrup. Medium to full-bodied beer that tastes of caramel and toffee with a somewhat noteworthy alcohol taste at times. Interesting beer.

Jun 8, 2008 Bottle 01568. Pours as black as velvet can get, with a thick, pillowy rootbeer head in a snifter--could be the fifth horseman of the apocalypse by its intimidation... complex scents-- citrus fruit, freshly mown hops grass, and a grapefruit mix... thin and crisp on the tongue... lingering aftertaste that holds like a pilsner... citrusy notes abound, with the slightest alcohol... hops are subdued, while the malts are impaling! HEAVY.... These guys are the masters, and though above my usual palate, this beer is a steam roller, obliterating any pre-existing taste in the mouth andforcefully asserting its power... memorable and warming.
